Given the state of this game it doesn't matter who you have at CM. All you need to do is get them to run into someone and you'll get the ball.

I feel that Nedved (with shadow) and Hamsik would be decent enough tackles of the ball. I can always instruct them to come back on defence. Nedved if there as he only cost me 300k to do and he's too good for the bench imo.

Personally, I'd drop Nedved and Pele and get TOTY Kante and some other striker. TOTY Kante is unfair at CM in a 5 ATB formtion. He always comes racing back to steal the ball while your opponent is trying to build up play/counter. Plus his TOTY card is a good attacking option as well.
